AdaCore and CodeSourcery Join Forces to Create Open-Source Integrated Ada and C++ Development System.SALT LAKE CITY -- AdaCore (New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of ) and CodeSourcery (Granite Bay, CA) have partnered to create the G++/GNAT Pro Joint Edition, the first open-source development environment for native and embedded applications that use both Ada and C++ programming languages. The G++/GNAT Pro Joint Edition is based on a combination of several GNU-based, open-source technologies - AdaCore's GNAT gnat, common name for any one of a number of small, fragile-looking two-winged flies of the suborder Nematocera, order Diptera, which includes the families Tipulidae (crane flies), Bibionidae (hairflies), Ceratopogonidae (biting midges), Chironomidae (true midges), Pro Ada toolsuite, and CodeSourcery's G++ Pro compiler. The result is a full-featured, modern IDE that includes source editors, configuration management facilities, source-level debuggers, source navigation and queries, and user extensibility. It is ideal for complex, mission-critical systems that must efficiently unite software developed in Ada and C++. "Over the past decade, modern defense systems have created large and sophisticated bodies of software in a variety of high-level languages, including Ada and C++," said Robert Dewar, president of AdaCore. "The partnership between AdaCore and CodeSourcery provides defense contractors with an open-source, feature-rich development platform for a broad range of native and cross-development scenarios." The open-source principles that underlie the G++/GNAT Pro Joint Edition allow third- party and proprietary tools to be used from within the IDE framework, while maintaining compliance with recognized industry standards. As a result, it is particularly well-suited for long-term defense programs. The U.S. Army's Future Combat System (FCS FCS - Frame Check Sequence ) and the U.S. Navy's DD(X) System have publicly recognized the advantages of, and are committed to, using open-source software. "Today's announcement reaffirms our commitment to the continued development of GNU gnu (n  ) or wildebeest (wĭl`dəbēst'), large African antelope, genus Connochaetes. , Ada, and C++," said Mark Mitchell Mark Mitchell refers to:
